“The Dodge Grand Caravan is a great vehicle. Initially I was interested in the ease with which my older large dogs can enter & exit the vehicle, but have really enjoyed the flexibility and capability of the van. I am a woodworker and can transport 4'x8' sheets of plywood and most anything I've needed to transport. The 2nd and 3rd row seating is easy to use or hide. We love this vehicle!”
2019 Dodge Grand Caravan: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The headline change for 2019 is the arrival of SE and SXT 35th Anniversary Edition models. Otherwise, this is a light late-cycle update rather than a redesign.
About the 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan
5th generation (2008-2020), very late-cycle year; final two model years before discontinuation.
Dodge positions the Grand Caravan as a straightforward family people mover built around value, space, and seat-folding flexibility rather than cutting-edge tech. The big selling points are seven-passenger room, the proven 3.6-liter V6, and the brand’s long-running Stow ’n Go seat-folding setup that makes it easy to switch from hauling people to hauling cargo. Compared with newer rivals, it stands out more for price-conscious practicality and simple minivan usefulness than for modern safety tech or a fancy cabin.
The 2019 lineup runs from the straightforward seven-seat SE to the family-focused SXT, which has fold-into-floor second-row seats, power sliding doors, and a power liftgate. The SXT 35th Anniversary Edition is the most fully equipped retail version, with navigation, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and automatic climate control. The fleet-only GT has leather-trimmed seating, navigation, upgraded audio, and a firmer suspension.
